Hello. I am new to all these hacks things so I installed this one and it works great. I have tested it out by registering a new user and seeing what I can view and post etc etc.

I just got one question and maybe this can't be done but I was wondering... can you make a option where users after X amount of days the amount of posts you need increase over time...

i don't know if you know what I mean... but

say you have new and old members, the new members amount of posts before they can view a section is lower than the old members amount before they can view the section...

so if a member is registered say 10 days then they are classified as old and need to post more before they can get access to a forum even if 5 days ago they would have been able to view it because they came under new.

hope that made sense...

where's the Link for the Zip File. I would really like to have this Hack. Thanks all

Alter the line that checks for posting permissions in newthread.php to something like this

if ($foruminfo[minposts] && ($foruminfo[minposts]>$bbuserinfo[posts]) and !(ismoderator($foruminfo[forumid],"",$bbuserinfo[userid]))) {
eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_forumno post")."\");");
exit;
}

Seems I am also having problems (i spoke too soon)

It allows the odd members to get access to forums even though there is a value said that u need 5 posts before you can view this thread but the main problem is now no new members can post in any of the sections even though they are set to having needed 0 posts they get the error they need x amount of posts before they can post.

but its set to 0 so i don't know how to fix it.

can anyone help....

100% working!
I used bits and pecies from everywhere and now this is 100% working. thanks for the great hack!

Ok.. this is going to be a dumb question..

I finally got everything to work,..

But now how to I set the forums? I looked in the edit, and I cna't find it anywhere.. thanks

HHH

Once you set the options with this hack, you can't go back and change them... Is there a way to add it so you can modify the posts needed to set a new topic once you initially set it?

otherwise i gotta nuke all my forums and start over ;)

while using searching function.......users can view anything

I have it set so that people under x amount of posts can't post or view in certain forums using the forum hack.

I also have the Last Post thread hack.

Users can totally bypass the "can't post if you don't have x amount of posts" by clicking on the Last Post thread link.

Kind of defeats the purpose :)

look: http://php.stileproject.com/spf

try posting from the forum link then last post to thread link.

great hack !! Thanks !
:rolleyes:
